Staff Applications Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
I traded texts with the hiring manager, which led to meeting him in a casual setting in a cafe. Our goals aligned well enough that the meeting led to a set of technical screens in the office. Each team member asked a different question on place and route, and the AE role. We touched on timing closure, Tcl, DRC closure.
Questions
